They are all the same stone

What are these "pits" on the stink bug, are they pits, or just the way the light is hitting the bug or just wrinkles in it's skin? Or perhaps they have gills?

I purchased the stone with a bunch of others at a garage sale, I posted it on a different website where I was told it can't be identified with the pictures I provided so I figured maybe someone here can ID it, here is a link with all the info on the rock including picture http://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=1844

someone showed a picture of a bug they drew using computer software they said it was a spider 1/2 inch with legs, round, the blue ring was neon, legs evenly spaced, so what do you think this could be

yeah that's what I liked about his article he wasn't afraid to ask the questions no one else would

It has always been assumed all dinosaures such as Brontosaurus, triceratops and others like these were reptiles and they couldn't have been mammals because they lay eggs and no mammals were around back then. Well for a while now scientists have been debating this since they do have more mammal traits than reptiles and there are mammals today that do lay eggs. I found this article online by a Dr. Velikovsky and the article appeared in the KRONOS Journal in about 1978. R.Solàrion. I would quote it for you but instead here is the link for it. My link and it's not the only link I have found that have suggested these animals were mammal not reptile and it makes since to me, I think the only reason scientists always claimed them to reptiles is because mammals weren't suppose to be around then, but who are they to say when something is or isn't suppose to be around after all the aforementioned article says that there mammals with dinosaurs, and also that they lay eggs, as do the platypus and echidna

I have found loads of recipes to grow crystals to help me out in my study on crystal but one I couldn't find is citric acid crystals, can this be done? Citric acid is just a sour sugar so would do it like I would sugar crystals? If so those would taste good, sour crystals yum. I love rock candy but making it sour would be even better. And what other acid powders could grow crystals? And off topic I have a chemistry set that is 50 years old, should I not use those chemicals for anything or do they not expire?

this is the easiest safest way to do it but why not just light it. That's what I have always herd people did. Spray the hairspray or pour in the liqueur, which ever you use and then light it, but now that I think about that, that does sound a little unsafe, but that's how I always herd it done. Or do this, buy a roll of fuze, it's inexpensive, or make your own, soak a string in a solution of potassium nitrate, I don't know the exact recipe but I am sure you can find it online, I hope this helps and I hope you can get your cannon working

yeah I guess that is what I'm talking about but it only happens if you leave the battery in the device for too long inactive. Crystals start to form on it as, I guess, the acids leak out to cause it

Ok, I made the post about the possibility of growing a crystal from a corroded battery with no response so I will do the experiment myself but I need to know exactly what causes a battery to corrode. I have had batteries sit in something for ages and nothing happens while other times they corrode like crazy. What I always believed is that the batteries leak causing this is that true? How could I speed up corrosion of a battery? Once I figure out how to corrode a battery I can go from there to try to grow the crystals that form on the corroded battery.

When a battery corrodes little tiny crystals form on it. Is it possible to grow these crystals or grow a crystal from the battery? If so how do you do it?

that is cool, thanks, I will eventually try this

I am smart enough to know it's some sort of Lily, a relative of the Calla Lily I would say, but I have no idea what kind. The bloom is huge on it, probably over a foot long and a deep purple. The leaves are very large and very few, I think there are like five on it. The plant is in the yard of a vacant house that I do yard work for and the owner is long gone and I have no one else I can ask that knows plants.

first off what is methylated spirits and how hard is it to get a hold of and how do you crystalize aspirin?

What can you crystalize that isn't water soluble and how do I do it?
